I love this book so much oh my god. The plot twist was everything. I loved their love story so much, it was so good.

I’ve read a lot of people say they don’t like bens character but i did so much he was just amazing. I’m still in shock about the plot twist, but i loved how he was like with her scars how he thought they were beautiful and made her even more perfect.

Cant wait to read this book in November again and will want to read it on november 9th

One of the best books i have ever read. This book completely changed my POV on people in abusive relationships. I loved Ryles character from the beginning and i was in shock and disbelief he did that to Lily, even though what he did i can’t help but still love his character. Atlas was this light at the end of her tunnel and i loved when she was reading her journals and we got to find out about them growing up. I loved Lilys character how strong she was even when she wasn’t, and even though a part of me still wanted her to be with Ryles. I’m happy she made the decision and broke the cycle.

I loved the idea of this book a cool murder mystery with a “i know what you did last summer” type of vibe. However all the characters were just unlikable. First Parker he was a red flag from the start and the author just made his character to be awful without any build up, Gavin was so useless in this story if you removed him there would hardly be a difference, Bret was the only character i kind of liked but he was just described constantly to be Parker’s shadow and bodyguard, Junpier was just as obsessed with Ruby as Parker was she really annoyed me how Ruby was just this angel and was the best, Ruby character was just a drama queen with a dark past “not like other girl” vibes from her the whole book. I was shocked how Ruby was the person behind it all but it was obvious it was also Shane sister. I cringed when Shane and Ruby slowed dance in the hallway and they fell in love after knowing eachother for like a week. Ruby literally killed Parker so in some way she is just as bad as him (obviously he has done worse) but the whole thing about him being too scared to run out of the mansion while it was burning was just stupid. I was shocked that Ruby killed her dad that was a big twist. It was obvious that Parker killed Shane. The ending felt rushed and was a bit all over the place and the story sometimes just felt a mess. However was an okay read ig?

The ending felt rushed. Didn’t feel like that their was a build up to the romance as A fell in love in one day. But liked the plot and concept on the book and was a very good read.

Good book but one chapter didn’t really make sense and was boring. The main character is loveable so was an enjoyable read.
